So her spells, though nerfed, work on any kind of unit?

I am having trouble with Dragon's Gift, I can't find a formula that works the same as it but doesn't target dragons.

I forget, what does Dragon's Gift do again?

ETernal, Dragon Gift = Heal and remove negative status at 100%, at the cost of Reis' HP.

Personally, it would be much easier if you just deleted the dragon requirement altogether.

BATTLE.BIN
ROM: 0x1239CC (Dragon Gift Routine)
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000

How do I add that code usign FFTPatcher? I can't seem to find the battle.bin and the CWcheat section can't be altered

Or you could just use Wish's formula, which IIRC does the same thing and works on everyone.

I tried but it only resores HP. Maybe I should tweak something aside the formula for that one to work.

Create an .XML file containing what I just wrote in the following format:

<Patches>
<Patch name="Dragon Gift no longer requires dragon">
<Description>See above.</Description>
<Location file="BATTLE_BIN" offset="1239CC">
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000
</Location>
</Patches>

You then use orgASM to insert this ASM.

EDIT: Note, the above is for the PSX version. Everything here is the same for the PSP version except the offset is 0x121998 in the PSP Version's BATTLE.BIN.

Sorry for my ignorance but how do I do that?

I downloaded the programm to make XML files, but I have two problems:

-When I write the code and try to save the new file it says:

File C:\Users\Diego Rojas DR\Downloads\PSP_GAME\PATCH\Untitled4.xml is not valid.
   More characters are grammatically required
      Reason: one of the following is expected (see below)
         '<'
         '<!--'
         '<![CDATA['
         '</'
         '<?'
         CharData
      Details
         XML production: Production 'content' not satisfied

There is an error, an "unexpected" character. (I just replace the BATTLE.BIN Offset with the PSP one you gave me right?)

-When I get the code right, how do I add it to orgASM?

You just paste the XML into Notepad or some other text editor. Don't use a special program to do it; sounds like it's giving you problems. As long as the .XML file is in the same directory as FFTorgASM, it'll find it. Just look for the patch name "Dragon Gift no longer requires dragon".

Man I am really bad at this. I just can't make it work. I open a notepad file, paste the XML given to me inside, change the name of the file to Dragon.XML but still doesn't show up in orgASM.

You sure the numbers are all 0?

Heh - just noticed, the XML is malformed.

Insert a </Patch> between the </Location> and </Patches>.
